Great experience on the flats.

Half day on the flats!1 adult

I had an incredible experience out on the water with Captain Tayo. His expertise is undeniable; not only did he help me land my first barracuda and bonefish, but he also put me on the ultimate prize—a permit. Beyond the catches, I walked away with a wealth of knowledge about flats fishing and a newfound respect for the skill required to complete a Belizean trifecta. It was a truly humbling and rewarding day.

    September fishing trip

    The six pack flats fishing! • 2 adults

    Captain Tayo knows where the fish are. We kicked it off with a torrential downpour, thunder and lightning (rainy season). Then the clouds parted and we hooked into bonefish until my arm almost fell off. To end the trip we searched for permit, with only a few spooky shots and no hook ups. After that we broke out the 11 weight and took shots at several good sized but unfortunately, uninterested tarpon. 6 hours flew by and it was time to get back to town for the Independence Day festivities, or else we’d probably still be out there trying to get that elusive tarpon to eat..

    great trip even though no tarpon!

    Special 6 hour trip for Ashley Leopold • 1 adult

    The captian gave me a good deal, pricewise! my main goal was to catch a tarpon, but unfortunately, we were not successful. We ended up finding a rolling group of them, but couldn’t successfully hook on. The captain searched really hard to find more, but we were not successful. We stayed an hour past the allotted time and I had to call it quits. You could tell he really wanted me to get that tarpon. Besides that I did catch three barracuda, two bonefish and a Jack. I appreciated the captains passion for fishing and commitment to getting me the catch. I never really saw him on his phone. It seemed like he was always looking at the water trying to find signs of fish. I appreciate that because you don’t see that a lot nowadays.

    Response from Charter operator

    we will get those tarpons Ashley! takes time but it's possible! we will get those 80 pounders!

    FISH WITH CAPTAIN TAYO!! HE WAS THE BEST

    Flats fishing/snorkeling • 2 adults

    Our experience fishing in Belize with Captain Tayo and his crew was absolutely outstanding. During our visit, we spent three full days on the water with them, and every day was memorable. From the moment we started, the service was seamless—Captain Tayo conveniently picked us up directly from our hotel dock, which made everything incredibly easy and stress-free. Throughout our trip, we had the opportunity to experience a wide variety of activities. We went offshore fishing and caught snapper, targeted tarpon, and even spent time conch diving and lobster diving. Captain Tayo and his crew are incredibly knowledgeable about the local waters and made sure we were always in the best spots to catch fish and enjoy the experience. One of the highlights of the trip was feeding the tarpon—something we had mentioned wanting to do. Captain Tayo made it happen and ensured we got to experience it up close. It was an unforgettable moment for our whole group. What made the trip even more special was how accommodating the crew was with our family. We had two kids with us, and they had an absolute blast. The crew was patient, friendly, and made sure the kids felt involved and safe while still keeping the adventure exciting. If you’re visiting Belize and looking for a fishing charter that goes above and beyond, I highly recommend Captain Tayo and his team. Their professionalism, local expertise, and genuine hospitality made our trip one we’ll never forget. We truly got to experience the best of Belize’s fishing, diving, and marine life all in one adventure.

    Response from Charter operator

    our goal is made our guest feel at home and involved in the activities, fishing, snorkeling, free diving. we as guides have family and kids and needs a lot of patience and understanding what they want, when they call for something, we have the flexibility to me make everyone happy. a memorable experience is the best

    fantastic guide

    A Full day flats fishing! • 2 adults

    Firstly what an absolute gentleman. Some guides like to scream and shout at you however, Tayo has a very calm demeanor and still gets the job done. Tayo worked hard to put us on the fish with great instructions. We caught bones and tarpon but not surprisingly we didn't see the elusive permit. Tayo is an excellent guide and I couldn't recommend him enough.

    Response from Charter operator

    next time we will get the elusive permits, Tayo the epic will get it done!
